Your heart rate and blood pressure are normal. LVEF is the fraction of blood pumped out of a ventricle with each heart beat. The term ejection fraction applies to both the right and left ventricles; one can speak equally of the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and the right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF). The normal range is 55-75% so your LVEF is normal as well.
Hope this helps,
